h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I still have no clue how to actually GET that domain name, its just the only planet one thats free. I don't know about paying because its a mates webspace, and its free.

I'm afraid I can't help you. I don't have my own PC, or website, all I do is use the Uni's computers to check e-mail and H2G2...

Ok then, I think we've uncovered some free space N E way.

That's good. So, how long until something's there, do you think?

It should be online in about a week or 2.

Slarti, I'm a freenetname.co.uk user - it's all free until you want to take the domain name to another provider, it costs about £95.00. Naturally you do have to use their server, but not necessarily their dialup connection.

Great coastlines, but I hope to Zarquon that you're not responsible for the East Riding coast...

Web page is nearly complete! How did the big h2g2 makeover go for you? I had to delete all m Javascript -stiff- oh well it cluttered up the page

Yes, the same happened to me. It was a little sad to see my page shrink, and I still am deciding on what to do about my friend list, but the rest like the clock and the other stuff I guess wasn't essential.
Still, in a week or so I'll get used to it again...

Yeah, the Java cluttered up the homepage anyway. I don't like what they have done to the forums, you have to go through pages and pages to get to the most recent posts!

I know - although they do have a short cut. If you add
&show=300 to the end of the URL then it will show you the first 300 messages in one go, and if you add
&skip=50 it will skip past the first 50 messages (or whatever number) but is still more awkward. But the Editors know about it, and say they are doing all they can to modify it soon. I guess we'll have to wait.

Ah, I didn't know that!

Nor did I until last night, but then I'm sure more will be done. If we find things awkward, we know that the technical team are too, and that soon enough the problem will be fixed.

Good, the Robot Wars entry got processed by the subbies, so I'm hoping another 3 weeks max till its gets seen by the editors.

That'll be good - make sure you let me know when it ends up on the front page.

Which skin do you prefer?

The Classic Goo. I've been using this skin for over a year, and it's what I'm used to. H2G2 doesn't really look right without it.

I did like classic goo, but my homepage looks better in Albaster, I like the new features oh Albaster and Albaster does take less time to load.

Maybe - I've got some of my IDs on Alabaster, but Bluebottle uses Classic Goo. Afterall, the smileys look better with a Blue background.
But whatever you're happy with, I guess.

Which other IDs do you have?

I've got about 6, including The Man On The Flmaing Pie (who can only quote from Beatles songs) and A Fish Called Honda.
Plus Venus in Fly Trap, Venus in Blue, Bluebottle and a secret one that no-one knows about.
